Awesome T-shirts

Escher’s Dogs makes us simultaneously laugh and scratch our heads; we’ll give a big ass milkbone and a degree in perceptual psychology to Fido if he can get himself out of this one.

Just in time for their third anniversary, Go Ape Shirts’ Ape-ocalypse tee is a retro-style homage to another huge Hollywood ape; it’s by Leon Ryan, who also created Go Ape’s logo.

Our friends at Rethink Clothing are running a contest for The Awesomer readers; you’ll get a chance to win a free Rethink t-shirt. Update: this contest has concluded.

Proof that Batman always has a backup, this JOB t-shirt is what the Dark Knight uses when his Bat Signal is out of order; our apologies to Alfred, who has to clean up the inevitable guano.

It would have been perfect for Earth Day, but we still like the brilliant colors of this Through the Glass t-shirt; it features wispy nebula and stars encapsulated in a light bulb.

The writings on this Bone Script tee could be anything from an end of the world prediction to a grocery list; still, you’d be the first kid on the block in several millenia to rock Sumerian cuneiform.

Worshipped by students but anathema to college professors and teaching assistants, we actually used Wikipedia while writing this post to figure out what anathema means; Thanks, Wikipedia!

It’s been awhile since we’ve seen any ASCII art emails, but this ASCII Skull t-shirt relives the glory days (though it’s a bit larger than 80 columns); act fast, as stocks are limited.

Give up on love and go solo in style with this bloody Broken Heart t-shirt; sure, your heart has a Band-Aid on it, but that just shows you’re single and ready to mingle — if a bit bitter.

Tatooed Tees’ One Dollar Tee not only features dollar bill graphics but also costs only a dollar (plus $4-$6 shipping); you’re limited to one t-shirt, so there’s no danger of overspending.

Liked the Star Wars Organics tees? The Empire continues to celebrate Earth Day in style with this Nature Trooper t-shirt; it’s decked out with animals, minus those annoying Ewoks.

Brains are pretty high in cholesterol, so it’s a good idea for zombies to regularly hit the treadmill: this Eternal Exercise t-shirt gives new meaning to notions of the “walking undead.”

The Empire goes green with its Star Wars Organics tees; all across the galaxy, Jawas recycle, Rebels ride tauntauns to work and Vader force chokes anyone who starts wildfires.

More intelligent than it seems, this Holofernes tee is based on a Babylonian legend: it’s basically a warning for us guys not to lose our heads around women. Seriously, good luck with that.

We’d always wondered why the Empire’s AT-AT walkers seemed a bit arthritic: rubyred’s AT-AT Anatomy t-shirt gives us a rare glimpse at the bones inside the feared walker.

Fellow trekkies, let’s face it: the whole pointy eared thing is not a babe magnet, nor is the hand salute; hopefully, you won’t be wearing this V is for Virgin tee at your next pon farr.

If you liked the Periodic Table of Controllers, this Gaming Revolution t-shirt unites said controllers into a glorious console’s revolution; seriously, folks, this one’s a must for gamers!

After exploding both a regular iPhone and its steampunk variant, Dion Briggs is back with WiiXploded; it’s printed with soft-hand ink and AA New Silver shirts and starts shipping today.

Event Of An Emergency is the second tee you’ll ever need: it’s filled with helpful alternate uses for your shirt, from mask and wound dressing to torch rag for you anarchist types.

This Time Travelers Essentials tee is the only shirt you’ll ever need: it includes info on electricity, chemistry and other basic sciences if you feel up to changing making history.

Stormtroopers are pretty poor shots, but they’re apparently pretty good at jamming out the Imperial March; this Rock Out, Rebel Scum! t-shirt is available at Teextile for only one more day.

Red Dot’s SS09 t-shirts continue their signature image fake-outs, this time drawing inspiration from summer beach holidays with snorkels, boxing gloves, headphones and sneakers.

It’s only a concept, but Burak Kaynak and Cem Has’ T-shirt Sketchbook is pure genius: the handy shirt shape lets designers easily jot down ideas whenever inspiration strikes them.
